Surfactant Bleed
Surfactants are a detergent-like material contained in all latex paints. Surfactants are normally removed slowly from surfaces coated with latex paints with the washing action of rain. However, under certain environmental conditions (e.g. dew, fog and rain) present during and shortly after paint application, this process can occur rapidly, causing a buildup of light colored crystalline deposits, or soft white, brown or clear spots on the freshly painted surface. Learn more about surfactant bleed. |

Tannin Stain
These reddish brown stains may appear in several forms. "Diffused" discoloration can result from rain or dew penetration through the finish whereas "rundown" discoloration typically results when water collects on an unfinished surface, such as the back of siding or unprimed ends of boards. Water-based finishes can also dissolve extractives and cause discoloration as a result. Learn more about tannin stain. |
